Easy Italian Mushroom Fettuccine
This Easy Italian Mushroom Fettuccine is a tasty Italian Pasta Dish, fresh herbs make this simple dish delicious and perfect, made the Classic Italian way.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chanterelle mushrooms chopped, also known as galletti or finferli mushrooms
- 1 cup white mushrooms chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt (more or less)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1-2 clove garlic chopped
- ¼ cup Italian parsley chopped, fresh
- 1-2 pinches hot pepper flakes if desired
- ¼ cup water
- 3 cups Fettuccine pasta cooked
* To clean mushrooms: use a damp cloth or paper towel to gently brush any dirt off the mushroomstrim up to 1/4 from the bottom of any stems that appear discoloured, soggy, or not completely fresh, if you must rinse quickly with cold water never warm or hot.
**Fettuccine can be dried or a fresh egg pasta.
EXTRAS
- ¼ cup Parmigiano Cheese freshly grated, or pecorino Romano
Instructions
- In a large saucepan add olive oil, mushrooms, salt, garlic, chopped Italian parsley, hot pepper flakes and water. Cook on medium heat for approximately 20-25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and water has evaporated.
- While mushrooms are cooking cook the fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente, drain then add to the cooked mushrooms along with half a ladle of pasta water. Cook on medium heat while tossing until water has evaporated and becomes almost creamy. Serve immediately. Top with freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- How Much Pasta To Use?
- Rule of thumb is 2 ounces / 57 grams of dry pasta per person. Although you could increase to 2 1/2 ounces / 75 grams. This will yield approximately 1 1/4 – 1 3/4 cups cooked.
- This pasta dish is best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. I like to save a little pasta water to use when reheating the leftovers.
